A year ago tomorrow, on the 1st September 2012, I started the biggest adventure of my life, Mum & Dad collected me and bought me home. It was very scary and everything smelt strange and weird however I have achieved and experienced so much in just a year. This was the first photo Mum received of me, how could they resist?

My first photo taken in my new home, playing with my new toy.

And it didn’t take Dad long to start messing with my mop-a-top…

And of course for Mum to start taking millions of photos of me. As you can see, modelling came naturally to me from a young age…

And it wasn’t long before I did my first blog and product share with all of you.

I had to catch a lift on my first few walks to my local park as I wasn’t allowed on the ground, this was soon to become my stomping ground were I meet my friends and check out the ladies.

I’ve had lots of ‘first’ experiences, here’s just a few:

My first Halloween…

My first latte…

My first bath and blow-dry…

Mr first Christmas…

My first New Year’s Eve…

My first snow…

My first haircut…

My first love… (lovely Lottie Loo)

My first Easter… (I won a competition with this photo remember?)

I took part in a centre fold competition…

My first professional photo shoot…

My first Summer…

My first modelling shoot for Mutts & Hounds…

My first Birthday…

And experienced my first Royal birth (not literally of course)…

Apart from my modelling and winning an amazing competition, I have achieved quite a lot.

I graduated from the puppy class into the first obedience class and quickly passed that. I also won Puppy of the Year as well.

I’ve learnt how to do agility and have to say, I’ve gotten pretty good at it!

And I’ve learnt how to help Mum with household chores, inside and out…

And of course I helped to announce Mum & Dad’s engagement…

I’ve learnt to swim (almost), which has been pretty refreshing with this hot summer.

I also ran my own competition and starred in a video showing my training skills and how I chose the lucky winner, CLICK HERE to view the video again.

And I’ve made some really good friends along the way…

And best of all, I have gained an amazing family, not just Mum & Dad but Nanny & Grandad who I spend a lot of time with, my Aunty and of course my little cousin who can be the best play buddy. Thank you to all of them for loving me lots and giving me a wonderful life and thank you to all of my loyal readers who have supported me all the way.

Dach’s all for now – here’s to the next year of Sausage Tails!
